Cumulative Effects of Concurrent Inspiratory Muscle Training and Postural Correction Bands on Older Individuals Community Dwellers: A Randomized Study.
Trial report in Yonsei medical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposePosture correction bands (PCBs) have been proposed as aids to help chest expansion and to enhance respiratory function. However, the impact of PCBs on community-based older individuals engaged in inspiratory muscle training (IMT) at home remains unclear. MATERIALS AND
methodsCommunity-based individuals aged 65 years and older were divided into the PCB group, wearing PCBs, and the NPCB group, not wearing PCBs. The IMT regimen lasted 8 weeks, with sessions 5 times a week, including 4 sets per day and 15 repetitions per set. Training intensity was set at 50% of the maximum inspiratory pressure of each subject. To assess the effects of IMT, respiratory function, 6-minute walk test, and grip strength were measured before, during, and after the training period. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance, with post-hoc evaluation employing Bonferroni correction.
resultsA total of 40 subjects were evenly divided into the PCB group and the NPCB group, with 20 subjects in each group. No significant difference was observed in respiratory muscle strength based on PCB use. However, during the initial 4 weeks, the PCB group exhibited a trend towards an increase in respiratory muscle strength compared to the NPCB group; this trend, however, did not prove to be statistically significant by the end of the 8-week period. Performance on the 6-minute walk test significantly improved in both groups.
conclusionThe PCB group exhibited a tendency for increase in respiratory muscle strength in the first 4 weeks; however, ultimately there was no significant difference compared to the NPCB group. CLINICAL
